DMGT to dispose of property information business EDR

Press release: Following the announcement, in November 2017, of a process being under way to dispose of EDR, the US property information business, DMGT announces that a sale has been agreed. Silver Lake Partners and Battery Ventures, two leading private equity investors with experience in growing technology, data and software businesses and investing in evolving business models, will acquire EDR for $205 million. The sale is expected to complete in the coming weeks.

The disposal is consistent with DMGT’s key strategic priorities of increasing portfolio focus and enhancing financial flexibility.
